WoW 6 years and $2.2 mil????

Kind of hard, don't you think? I mean, considering that on Canal Street you can get a fake ANYTHING. Some are ridiculously fake, but others are pretty good from 20 feet. Raid them. They have store for crying out loud!

This makes me scratch my head because if this guy got busted, then how come there are a million online websites that are selling the EXACT same thing he was trying to sell? What stops federal authorities from shutting them down or arresting them?

It takes time and money to go after them and the law enforcement is backed up on other similar crimes on the internet.
